Addi Sounds Youth Program
A community recording studio we have set up inside the centre in partnership with ANU’s music department. It provides free-access and support for voices often excluded from the level of access and technical training the studio offers, with ANU researching the impact of this on individuals and the community more widely.
The Youth Program focuses on providing a safe space to create and engage and learn for our young communities. An impactful program that is youth-led and collaborative.
